Had a lion king roll and a happy roll, pot stickers and a miso soup and garlic fried rice. The soup was the best I've ever had. Sooooo good. I had my happy roll not deep fried and it was very good. Happy with the food. Super fast service and friendly staff. Can't wait to come back. OK......THIS IS AN UPDATED REVIEW.....ABSOLUTELY LOOOOOVE THIS PLACE. CAME HERE AND IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT!!!! why have you not eaten here yet???

I took my wife and friends for a birthday celebration. My wife kept her coa on throughout because the restaurant was so cold. The chef was excellent. The tuna was amazing. I reserved a table many days in advance, and even callex on the day to confirm the reservatipn But we still had to share a table with strangers for the tapsnyaki experience. At no time was I informed that we would have to share a table . We were just let to the table. I was very uncomfortable with the other party that shared our table who had not observed the restaurant's dress code. I was very embarrassed. I am not happy.

Let me start by saying this place can do much better in terms of atmosphere and service. The food wasn't bad but wasn't great either. The bartender was and is the worst. Don't order a martini, you will get ripped off. I sat at the bar and asked him to use the measuring cup because my drink was short. He insisted his 3count was perfect until he remade my drink using correct measurements , then the drink came out perfect. I continued to watch him make drinks for tables and he ripped each one of them off using his 3count. The server even mentioned how the drinks were short, he refused to remake these drinks. Don't drink here!! You've been warned. It's bad enough the drinks are expensive, but to get ripped off too... insane!!

Loved the atmosphere and the chicken wings the most. The mushroom soup broth was flavorful and light. We didn't like the salad dressing but everything else including the sushi was great. Loved the show and the establishment was very clean. The prices were great too.

We made a reservation a week in advance for a birthday party, expecting a great experience. Unfortunately, it was anything but. We sat at our table for 35 minutes without being greeted, no drinks, no appetizers—nothing. Despite watching other tables receive service, we were completely ignored. After waiting far too long, we finally decided to get up and leave, and still, not a single staff member acknowledged us. It was incredibly disappointing, especially for a special occasion. We understand restaurants can be busy, but basic hospitality and customer service should never be overlooked. This was unacceptable, and we won’t be returning. We were trying to support a local restaurant as we usually go to Walnut Creek to eat out but yea that was a disappointment.

The service was amazing! We munched our way through five different sushi rolls and each was very fresh as well as delicious. Not pictured was my favourite - the Sunshine Roll. We ate it to fast!

Ordered the Bad Joe roll and garlic fried rice for delivery. Both were just okay. The roll was definitely better than the rice. The rice was definitely not fresh, I got the sense they make a big batch and reheat it throughout the day. Roll was fresh and tasted decent. Not upset at the food, just not overly impressed.
